Spanish Wells is the lobster capital of the Bahamas, with one of the biggest fishing fleets in the Caribbean. This four-kilometre-long island supplies the Red Lobster restaurant chain, as well as high-end European eateries.
Lobstering started here just 15 or 20 years ago, but it quickly transformed Spanish Wells from a hard-luck fishing village into one of the wealthiest settlements in the Caribbean.
Except for short visits home to offload lobster tails and stock up on supplies, “the mens is out at sea” from August to March each year.
